David Beckham was spotted cooling himself down while in the Italian sun.

On Tuesday, July 30, the soccer star enjoyed a luxury getaway with his wife, Victoria, off the coast of Positano, Italy. Beckham, 49, was snapped showering on the yacht’s deck in a tiny white bathing suit. The suit is actually underwear from Prada’s Fall-Winter 2023 collection that is meant to be worn without pants.

He was also spotted joining Victoria at the boat’s dining table, where he remained shirtless while his Spice Girl wife, 50, opted for a wide-brim floppy hat and a black tank top.

The recent photos of David enjoying an outdoor shower on the high seas follow his and Victoria’s social media posts from their vacations throughout the past month, including their time off the coast of Sardinia. At the start of the month, David was photographed sporting only a pair of green swim trunks. Victoria fashioned a similar look to her July 30 ensemble, wearing a pale dress and straw hat.

The fashion designer questioned why her hair appeared to be a reddish shade rather than brunette.

“What? Why is my hair ginger???” she wrote of brunette hair that had reddish tint. “What filter is that David?🥴😂🥴.”

Since they were along the coast, it was no surprise that the couple also dined on seafood.

At one point during their vacation, David and Victoria were joined by Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana while dining at Michelin Star restaurant Quattro Passi in Nerano, Naples.

One of their mouthwatering desserts was pistachio ice cream with pieces of pistachio mixed in for an extra layer of texture and crunch. David called it “ridiculous” in his Instagram Stories, adding “Grazie” and tagging the restaurant.

Victoria Beckham is being pranked!

On Thursday, Aug. 8, the fashion designer’s husband, David Beckham, 49, shared a video of their family taking part in the “Just Give Me My Money” social media trend.

The trend features a group of people taking turns saying “Just give me my money” and being met with applause until the last person to repeat the phrase is met with an awkward silence.

Unfortunately for Victoria, 50, the last person in this challenge was her.

“Give me my money,” the couple’s son Romeo, 21, began before the rest of the group cheered.

A second person in line then sang “Give me my money,” to which the others clapped again.

Turning to her side to realize she was the only one clapping, Victoria fell into laughter as her family looked at her and began laughing also.

“Is that it?” the former Spice Girl asked.

Thanks to David Beckham, Halle Berry made one of her son’s biggest dreams come true.

Maceo-Robert Martinez, 10, met the former professional soccer player at Inter Miami’s game against the LA Galaxy on Sunday.

“Thank you @mls & @davidbeckham for making my son’s dream come true and for giving me some extra ‘cool mom’ points 🤍⚽️,” wrote Berry next to photos from the game on Instagram.

In one snap, Berry smiled as she wrapped her arm around Maceo-Robert’s shoulder. Another photo showed Beckham conversing with the preteen and a fellow fan.

In a follow-up post, Berry shared a video of Beckham talking with Maceo-Robert and giving him a high-five.

She credited Beckham as being “so kind” in the caption, adding, “When your kid meets his hero, and he’s more than he could have ever imagined!” At the game, Berry also took photos with fellow movie star Halle Bailey.

Berry shares Maceo-Robert with ex-husband Olivier Martinez. She is also a mom to her daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry, 15, with ex Gabriel Aubry.

During a 2021 appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Berry said that her kids are “comfortable” with her relationship with her boyfriend, Van Hunt. Her son even held an impromptu “commitment ceremony” for them.

“This was a ceremony by an 8-year-old in the back seat of the car who said, ‘Mom, you should get married to him.’ I said, ‘Really, I should marry to him?’ He said, ‘Yeah, I pronounce you man and wife.’ So we’re like, ‘Oh, okay. We’re married!’ But we’re not married,” she said. “So that’s our commitment ceremony. It’s silly. It’s sweet.”

Sunday’s game was also a memorable experience for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s son Saint West. The 8-year-old got to walk onto the field with Lionel Messi ahead of the big game.

The moment was shared on Inter Miami’s social media pages and by Kardashian, 43, on X, formerly Twitter.

Meghan’s Shock: Fergie Exposes Harry’s Plea for Royal Divorce, Excluding Meghan from $10m Inheritance

Prince Harry, without Meghan, would be forgiven and welcomed back into the Royal fold in the fullness of time. It’s still unlikely at the moment,” Sarah told, okay.
“I think there is still enough goodwill towards Harry, well, to the old Harry that we all remember,” she said, adding, “he could recoup the ground he has lost in time and be welcome back. But I don’t think it’s anywhere on the horizon.”

Per Ferguson, William and Kate had plenty of reservations about the marriage in the first place, precisely because they feared Meghan wasn’t right for Harry. Harry seems too emotionally damaged to love anyone, but he definitely clung onto her because she was the first woman he’d met who indulged his morose, bitter personality.

Little did he know, she was not his mother reincarnated, just a cheap, worthless actress digging for a payday. However, recently Prince Harry reportedly called divorce lawyers months ago. He’s fought for divorce and he’s trying to do it in the UK, where he’ll probably get a better deal. If they divorce, Meghan will try to make claims on the family funds and assets, so the crown will be involved merely for self-preservation, according to the divorce lawyer.

Harry doesn’t own anything except for his inheritances, so this is an own goal for Meghan. When he gets that money in a few years, you know she’s waiting for that. However, it’s inherited and he keeps it in his own account; she’s not entitled to it.

Since the age of 21, Harry and William have been receiving a $450,000 a year investment profit from Princess Diana’s estate, which they pay taxes on to the UK government. They received a sizable inheritance from their late mother, estimated to be around $10 million each, which each Prince gained access to on their 30th birthdays. Meghan can’t get his inheritance unless he broke the trust and commingled the funds.

It comes as it was reported that Meghan Markle has been seen out and about in town without Prince Harry, fueling the fire of divorce rumors. Multiple reports have suggested that Harry and Meghan could be headed towards a divorce, with one even suggesting that all is not well between the Sussexes.

During her interview on Seven’s breakfast program, which was to promote her new novel, A Most Intriguing Lady, Ferguson also opened up about her final conversation with the late Queen Elizabeth II.

“The last thing the Queen said to me was, ‘Sarah, just remember to be yourself,’” she told Shervington and his co-host Natalie Barr. “And then she said, ‘You know, you must continue with kindness, like you always do.’ And I think my message to you, Shervo, to Natalie, and to my sister and everyone listening or watching is, you know, judgment is not cool.”

“No race, creed, color, or any other judgment. It’s about love and kindness and being kinder and making the smile go a long way. And just when you think that you walk along a street and you have just smiled at someone, you know, get back. I feel really strongly about it.”

Princess Anne’s Heroic Act: Saving King Charles Amid Meghan Markle’s Plea Letter Scandal

Princess Anne has reportedly intervened to shield King Charles from what could have been an awkward situation involving Meghan Markle, the …

Princess Anne has reportedly intervened to shield King Charles from what could have been an awkward situation involving Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. According to insider sources, Meghan allegedly sent a letter to King Charles, imploring him to endorse the American Riviera Orchard brand. However, Princess Anne intercepted and subsequently burned the letter before it reached the king, sparking fresh controversy within the royal family.

The move by Princess Anne is seen as a protective measure to safeguard her brother from what she viewed as Meghan Markle’s attempt to exploit royal connections for personal gain. The letter supposedly contained emotional appeals and promises of mutual benefit, but Princess Anne’s decisive action underscored her commitment to upholding royal integrity.

Critics argue that Meghan’s alleged bid to involve King Charles in a commercial endorsement is another example of her relentless pursuit of fame and fortune, often disregarding royal protocol and dignity. The American Riviera Orchard brand, purportedly promoted by Meghan, is relatively unknown in luxury circles. Insiders suggest Meghan’s request aimed to elevate the brand’s visibility and credibility, a move deemed inappropriate and disrespectful by many within royal circles.

Royal expert Angela Levin criticized Meghan’s actions, noting they signify ongoing attempts to leverage royal connections for personal benefit. The royal family traditionally maintains a strict divide between their official duties and commercial interests, a principle Meghan’s actions seem to defy.

Known for her no-nonsense approach and dedication to royal duty, Princess Anne saw the letter as potentially compromising the monarchy’s integrity. By destroying it, she not only shielded the king from potential scandal but also reinforced the importance of protecting the royal family’s reputation.

Supporters of Princess Anne argue her actions were justified given the potential fallout of Meghan’s request. On social media, one supporter praised Princess Anne for protecting the monarchy, stating, “Princess Anne did the right thing. The royal family should not be used as a marketing tool. Kudos to her for safeguarding the monarchy.”

Meanwhile, Meghan’s supporters contend she is unfairly targeted and her intentions misunderstood. They argue Meghan’s efforts are aimed at securing a future for herself and her family, rather than undermining royal traditions.

From lucrative deals with streaming platforms to revealing interviews, the Sussexes have been accused of challenging the very institution they once represented. Meghan’s attempt to involve King Charles in a commercial venture is viewed by many as another chapter in this ongoing saga of conflict and controversy.

Duchess Sophie ‘relieved’ she no longer has to curtsy to Meghan Markle

When Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh’s rank changed she was no longer duty bound to curtsey to Meghan Markle.

Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh is “relieved” she no longer has to curtsy to Meghan Markle due to her change in ranking, according to reports.

Previously the Countess of Wessex, Sophie was given a new title after her husband Prince Edward was promoted to Duke of Edinburgh after Charles became King.

She was duty-bound to curtsey to the Duchess of Sussex as Meghan was a higher rank when she was a senior working royal. But a friend of the Duchess of Edinburgh told the Mail on Sunday Sophie is relieved this is no longer the case.

The source explained: “Sophie is relieved. She no longer has to curtsy to someone in the family who has not only left Royal duties but has spent the past three years criticising the institution that Sophie works so hard to support.”

Meghan Markle, as revealed in her Netflix docuseries, once believed that curtseying was a joke. The Sussexes revealed that before a meeting with the late Queen, Harry asked Meghan: ‘You know how to curtsey, right?’ Meghan told the crew: “I just thought it was a joke” before re-enacting the exaggerated curtsey she gave Queen Elizabeth II and laughing.

The claims about tensions between Sophie and Meghan featured in Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, by author and friend of the Royals Gyles Brandreth.

He writes that Meghan “made it clear” she didn’t need Sophie’s help when she became a royal and would instead rely on Prince Harry, according to the Daily Mail.

The King made his brother Prince Edward the Duke of Edinburgh on his 59th birthday on Friday as a reward for his loyal service to the crown. King Charles also appointed his brother to the Order of the Thistle on his 60th birthday.

Prince Philip held the title of Duke of Edinburgh before his death in April 2021 – a title that was then passed on to his youngest son after he died. Edward was exceptionally close to his father and in his later years took on much of his work with the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme.

Speaking of the moment that Philip asked if Edward would take on the title after his death, Sophie revealed how she felt at the moment to the Telegraph.

She told the publication: “We sat there slightly stunned. He literally came straight in and said, ‘Right. I’d like it very much if you would consider that’.”

Meghan Markle reacts to the explosive secret about Archie’s paternity revealed by Matt Lauer (video)

 

In a stunning revelation that has caused ripples throughout British tabloids and social media, former NBC anchor Matt Lauer dropped a bombshell regarding the paternity of Meghan Markle’s son, Archie, during a guest appearance on a popular YouTube channel dedicated to celebrity gossip (channel name withheld).

While Lauer never explicitly stated that Archie wasn’t Prince Harry’s son, his carefully chosen words and knowing glances left viewers with a sense of unease.

Referring to his own downfall due to sexual harassment allegations, Lauer pointed out the dangers of blindly trusting public figures and the media. He remarked, with a pointed finger at the camera, “The media has a way of portraying certain couples in a certain light. We’re all encouraged to believe a fairy tale narrative, but the truth can often be far more prosaic.”

 

Lauer then mentioned a source close to the royal family who had shared explosive information regarding Archie’s paternity. Although the details of this supposed information were frustratingly vague, Lauer did mention discrepancies in the timeline of Meghan and Harry’s relationship compared to Archie’s birth.

Social media erupted in speculation, with #ArchiePaternity trending worldwide. Countless memes and theories swirled around.

While die-hard Meghan Markle fans dismissed Lauer’s claims as the desperate ramblings of a disgraced media personality, others pointed to Meghan’s noticeable absence from recent royal events as a possible sign that there’s more to the story than meets the eye.

Throughout Lauer’s interview, one detail remained particularly unsettling: Meghan Markle’s complete silence on the matter. Despite the global firestorm surrounding her name, Meghan has yet to address the rumors swirling around Archie’s paternity.

This silence, some argue, speaks volumes. Meghan Markle has never been shy about speaking her mind, from her outspoken nature on social issues to her controversial relationship with her own father. Her deafening silence on this topic is a stark departure from her usual outspokenness. By refusing to address the rumors, Meghan Markle only adds fuel to the fire. In the age of social media, silence can often be misconstrued as guilt or admission. Each passing day that Meghan stays silent allows the rumors to fester and grow.

Some reporters argue that Meghan’s silence is a strategic move to protect her son from the media frenzy. There’s a certain logic to this argument; however, it’s important to remember that the longer Meghan stays silent, the more it appears she has something to hide.

The truth remains unknown. Matt Lauer, despite his journalistic background, has a checkered past that makes his credibility questionable. However, the mere fact that a prominent media personality would make such a statement about a royal child ensures the rumor mill will continue to churn. One thing is certain: Meghan Markle’s silence is no longer an option. The longer she waits to address these explosive allegations, the more they will damage her carefully cultivated reputation.

TV star Ruth Langsford will take the month off work from Loose Women following her shock split from Eamonn Holmes after 14 years of marriage

Ruth Langsford is to take the rest of the month off from ITV ’s Loose Women but will be back on screen next month, according to pals.

The presenter has been left “hurt” by the discovery that, in the wake of their separation, her husband Eamonn Holmes is being consoled by another woman with whom he’s been on a string of outings.

Ruth is said to have known nothing of their day trips together until recently and it has been described as a key factor in their decision to call time on their relationship. She has also been left “deeply upset” over suggestions that she’s walked away from her marriage because of Eamonn’s ongoing health woes.

Friends insist there is “no way back” for their marriage, which is heading for the divorce court. Ruth, 64, will extend her time off for the rest of June but plans to return to the ITV show next month. She was last seen on screen in May

One pal said: “Ruth was hurt when she learned about Eamonn’s friendship with another woman but she is strong and she will be back soon with a smile on her face, putting her best foot forward, as she always does. She needs a bit of time to regroup after everything that’s gone on, which is understandable, but she plans to return to Loose Women, with renewed vigour, in July.”

On the prospect of a reconciliation, the friend insisted: “No chance whatsoever.” Ruth was left reeling by the discovery that Eamonn, 64, has been seeing a woman in her forties after striking up a friendship with her over the past couple of years. He is said to have taken her out to venues including a trip in February to a safari park, plus a Manchester United game and a Beyonce gig.

The GB News presenter, who had a double hip replacement in 2015 and a spinal operation in 2022, is said to have grown particularly close to the woman over the past year. They made contact via social media having been loosely connected, via a mental health charity, for some time. The woman is said to volunteer for a charity which Eamonn became involved with following the death of Ruth’s sister, Julia Johnson, who had suffered with depression.

Ruth nursed her husband of 14 years through his back surgery and subsequent broken shoulder which he sustained after falling down the stairs at their home in Surrey. “The thing that deeply upsets and frustrates her is the notion that she’s ditching him because of his ongoing health issues,” one pal said. “That is not true. She’s always been there for him. But she has struggled with the knowledge that he’s not always been honest with her.”

Last night a spokesperson for Ruth said: “Ruth had holiday time booked from Loose Women and has extended her leave. She’s looking forward to returning to the show in due course.” Earlier this week Ruth posted pictures of her trip to the hairdresser to have her highlights redone, thanking her stylist, Josh Wood, for her new glam look.

Eamonn returned to the GB News breakfast show, which he co-hosts, just a few days after news of their divorce was made pubic. While he alluded to their break-up, and thanked viewers for the kind messages they’d sent to both him and Ruth, he was then able to focus fully on presenting the news.

A pal said it was harder for Ruth, as a host on panel discussion show Loose Women, because the topics often covered relationship issues and matters of the heart which made it tricky to escape what she was going though herself. The couple, who have a 22-year-old son, Jack, had been an item for a total of 27 years before deciding to split.

A joint statement issued last month said simply: ”Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.” Eamonn has moved out of their home in Weybridge, Surrey. Ruth has spoken about caring for Eamonn through his surgeries and ongoing ailments. At the end of last year she said: “With any care situation – and there are millions of carers in this country – it isn’t always easy, but if something happens to somebody you love, you help them as much as you can.”

ITV star Ruth has proved to fans that you can’t keep a good woman down, after sharing photos of her glamorous new makeover amid her ongoing divorce proceedings with soon-to-be ex-husband Eamonn Holmes

Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has debuted her glam makeover after confirming that she and Eamonn Holmes are going through divorce proceedings.

The 64-year-old is going through a split with partner of 27 years Eamonn Holmes, after fans began to suspect something was wrong whe they’d not been seen together for months. It’s confirmed that Eamonn had moved out of the family home, with reports of explosive arguments between the pair, while her husband’s ill health had been “testing” for Ruth and the family.

But proving to her followers that she’s doing fine, Ruth shared her trip to the hairdresser on Instagram Stories, showing off her brighter blonde ‘do.

Tagging her hair colourist Josh Wood, based in London, Ruth shared a snap of herself with her hair in foils, before a photo of the end result of her lighter blonde, complete with glamourous over-sized sunglasses. As she recovers from the fallout of the news of her divorce emerging, Ruth spent a wholesome day with her mum on Sunday (June 2).

She captured memories of the day she spent with her mum, Joan, with the pair of them enjoying music, dancing, sherry and music in the sunshine, as well as getting stuck into a crossword together. In a heartwarming caption, she wrote: “Lovely day spent with my darling Mum….sunshine, music, dancing, sherry, lunch, crosswords in the garden and Maggie….making memories Music by her favourite @mrantondubeke #sunday #family.”

Ruth’s weekend would have been a welcome break from the drama that has emerged over the past few weeks with Eamonn, and she was said to be “angry” to find out the her ex had been spending more time with a blonde woman in her 40s.

A source told The Sun on Sunday : “Ruth was obviously aware that her marriage was crumbling, but as details emerge, her upset has turned to anger. Eamonn’s friend is bowled over by being lavished with attention and kindness from him.”

The woman Eamonn is spending time with is said to be a relationship counsellor who specialises in “separation and divorce”, and the pair have allegedly become closer friends over the last 12 months after meeting on Twitter.

The insider added: “She works for a charity Eamonn is involved with from time to time.”

Ruth was said to be unaware of their new friendship, and while the pair’s marriage has come to an abrupt end, Eamonn is reportedly going on trips with the woman. The pair have been on a trip to a safari park, while he’s said to have treated her to a Center Parcs visit, a Beyonce gig and a trip to watch Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Mirror has reached out to Eamonn and Ruth’s reps for comment.
